Craig

We can't say you aren't consistent!

Last night

at a wine dinner thingy we were served an

English Rose (rosay, not the flower).

Made in the South of England, from a strange mix of varieties.

Hmm, it was

well

strange, but kinda wine like, sorta.

My first ever English wine!

I think the questionn should be "Does Scotland make any wine"?

I don't think wine is made in Scotland or ever has been even in the Middle Ages when vineyards were found quite far North in England. But it's not a stupid notion. Apparently some wine is made in Sweden which I guess has an even more unfriendly climate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_wine .

If global warming proceeds at the rate predicted by some alarmists, Scotland could see flourishing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plantations by the end of the century and Burgundy will be a desert.

You're in luck, Craig, award winning Scottish wines can be purchased online, direct from this winery. Let us know how you go.

I must say that 'Bottle Smash' sounds like a fine idea. That could catch on. Would be one way to deal with the wine glut...

sorry before any of you think this was a serious question and waste too much time please let me come clean and let you all know this was just a jibe at the wallabies loss to scotland. surely it wasnt just gavin that worked that one out??

but hopefully you have helped someone out there that is genuinely after a wine from scotland

Um, perhaps it was just me?

Craig, perhaps the Lounge next time for these eh!

No, the joke was pretty obvious - the search for Scottish wine was just follow up fun...
